VMware VMFS (Virtual Machine File System) is VMware, Inc.'s clustered file system used by the company's flagship server virtualization suite, vSphere. It was developed to store virtual machine disk images, including snapshots. Multiple servers can read/write the same filesystem simultaneously while individual virtual machine files are locked.

VMware Workstation Pro can save the state of a virtual machine (a "snapshot") at any instant. These snapshots can later be restored, effectively returning the virtual machine to the saved state, [ 7 ] as it was and free from any post-snapshot damage to the VM.
It uses storage system snapshots as a source for backups and recovery of VMware VMs with disks residing on storage volumes. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] Veeam Backup & Replication also have build in direct NFS agent which allows to access NetApp snapshots directly from NAS storage bypassing hosts for backup, restore & storage scan operations.
Virtual machine cloning; 4.2 Sep 13, 2012: Virtual machine groups – allows management of a group of virtual machines as a single unit (power them on or off, take snapshots, etc.) Some VM settings can be altered during VM execution; Support up to 36 NICs in case of the ICH9 chipset; Support for limiting network I/O bandwidth
A snapshot is a read-only point-in-time copy of the volume. Snapshots allow the creation of consistent backups of a volume, ensuring that the contents do not change and are not locked while the backup is being made. The core component of shadow copy is the Volume Shadow Copy service, which
GHOST could clone a disk or partition to another disk or partition or to an image file. GHOST allows for writing a clone or image to a second disk in the same machine, another machine linked by a parallel or network cable, a network drive, or to a tape drive. 3.1 uses 286 with XMS and could still run on OS/2.

A disk image is a snapshot of a storage device's structure and data typically stored in one or more computer files on another storage device. [1] [2]Traditionally, disk images were bit-by-bit copies of every sector on a hard disk often created for digital forensic purposes, but it is now common to only copy allocated data to reduce storage space.
